NU1001 The dependency Microsoft.NETCore.App >= 1.0.1 could not be resolved.

Steps to reproduce

VS 14.0.25431.01 Update3 .NET Core 1.0.1 - VS 2015 Tooling Preview 2 downloaded from this link

create a dotnetcore console app (here is the project.json)

{
  "version": "1.0.0-*",
  "buildOptions": {
    "emitEntryPoint": true
  },

  "dependencies": {
    "Microsoft.NETCore.App": {
      "type": "platform",
      "version": "1.0.1"
    }
  },

  "frameworks": {
    "netcoreapp1.0": {
      "imports": "dnxcore50"
    }
  }
}

Expected behavior

Everything is created by VS by default…I should be able to start developping…I don’t understand how could it fail on package restore

Actual behavior

C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe restore "c:\users\watashiSHUN\documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\ConsoleApp1\.vs\restore.dg"
MSBUILD : error MSB4025: The project file could not be loaded. Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1. [c:\users\watashiSHUN\documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\ConsoleApp1\.vs\restore.dg]

under properties->references->.netcoreapp,version=v1.0->microsoft.netcore.app->NU1001 The dependency Microsoft.NETCore.App >= 1.0.1 could not be resolved.

Environment data

dotnet --info output:

Rather then sending people through a wormhole of issues and wiki markdown documents could you please re-open this issue and advise on the fix status?

Also rather than imposing laborious repro’s as a burden on your consumers would it be too harsh to ask you guys to find and fix the problem?

After all you are the originators here and should probably take responsibility for finding and fixing the problems.

The community is telling you it does not work.

To quote your markdown “To migrate a project open a command prompt and go to the project’s root directory. From here, type dotnet migrate and let the tool do its work. For most projects, that’s it!”

Nah dude … it does not.
